The Typical Household, Now Worth a Third
Less
--------------
The inflation-adjusted net worth for the typical
household was $87992 in 2003. Ten years later, it was only $56335, or a 36
percent decline, according to a study financed by the Russell Sage Foundation.
Those are the figures for a household at the median point in the wealth
distribution — the level at which there are an equal number of households whose
worth is higher and lower. But during the same period, the net worth of wealthy
households increased substantially.
美國(guó)家庭財(cái)富嚴(yán)重縮水
10年銳減三分之一

羅素-賽奇基金會(huì)資助的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示,，經(jīng)濟(jì)通貨膨脹調(diào)整后,，2003年典型美國(guó)家庭的收入凈值為87992美元。十年過后,，這個(gè)收入則僅有56335美元，足足減少36%,。這些是處在財(cái)富分配中層的家庭的收入數(shù)據(jù)，這個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)也意味著有相同比例的家庭的收入高于或低于這個(gè)水準(zhǔn),。然而與此同時(shí),，富裕家庭的凈收入實(shí)際上是在增加的。
